And if they hired Halle Berry to play Michelle Obama, the reactions would be totally different but woo! stop complaining!
But that isn't that big of a reach

I think the current political climate has ppl really on edge
and ready to argue about anything.
Angela Basset has played women of pretty much every complexion in the past with no problem
and Flex played Michael Jackson
I'm sure Chadwick will do well with the role

Am I one of the few people who never cared if an actor looked like whoever theyre portraying?

:guys:

In fact I don't prefer it. I feel like it takes away from the art itself as we're focused on that person and how well they can/cannot mimic the deceased
It depends on how connected I am with the person.

If they hired J-Lo for the Toni biopic I'd be like wtf? :guys: No fucking dice

I wanna feel like I'm looking at GODni.
cxxxxxxxx

oh no i agree with that

i just think as long as theyre the same race its fine

i never really took color into consideration, even though we all have different experiences
oh i agree.

even now, looking at these denzel and malcolm pics side by side i still see a doppelganger mess owt.
!!!!

Both fine :wellheythere:

But in this case him being a lighter skinned black man apparently is central to the story so I can see why people are upset.
I thought people were annoyed just because Chadwick was darker period. :dead:

I think it's where ur from too.

And maybe family?

I wasn't really used to hearing terms like "ooh look she light skindededed  :ohwow: ", "oooh she got that good hair" and mess in my house. So I never really focused on color -- to the point where I barely even really separated whites from Blacks. :plzstop: I mean I could tell the difference visually (duh) but I had to actually LEARN the social complexities behind what I saw on the surface.
!!!
I only saw and STILL see Light, Brown and Dark
all these other tones are just extra
Yellowbone? Redbone?
what's that
:udontlookok:
